Are my river bets in these hands correct or incorrect, what other mistakes did I make?

1) You post the same hand twice

2) Cbet the flop. Raise the turn. You turn the nuts, everyone's trapped, and you call - i don't get it.

Oh my. We missed a few bets I think.

I lead this flop when checked to.
Raise turn and cap if offered!!!
River is fine.

I think you may not know you put the same hand in twice [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

edited, I missed a copy and pasted it twice by accident.
sorry guys, I should actually look at my posts before I hit submit.

[/ QUOTE ] The reason I didn't raise there is because I thought the BB would lead out again, and I'd potentially get overcalls on the river from UTG and UTG+1

I think slow playing the nuts is a leak and you should almost never do it. For lots of reasons. Please reconsider and get your money in as soon as you can with a hand like this.

Thank you for the advice, I just felt it would be more profitable to raise it on the river, but I will strongly consider your advice.

Hand #2: If I just call the three bet on the flop then I check/call down. In this case your opponent failed to maximize his hand and you should send him a thank you card!!

you didn't raise the turn because he might lead out the river? don't get it. when you're ahead why be tricky ... raise that turn.
